The article those draw from is a bit more charitable, though not much more so: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/pK4HTxuv6mftHXWC3/prolegomena-to-a-theory-of-fun

As a side note, you can support just about anything you want with scripture, so it's not a great basis for an argument.
- twodave 5y agoCertainly, though I personally draw a pretty large difference between "supported by scripture" and either "I can find a verse that helps me justify my opinion" or "I can find some famous idiot in the Bible who made the same mistake, therefore it's okay".
- chris_st 5y agoThat's brilliant, thanks. Also there's things "everyone knows" which are "supported by scripture" that are, in fact, nowhere in the Bible.
